A phone call on Sunday morning about a bomb allegedly planted at Kashmere Gate metro station here sent security agencies into a tizzy, who later discovered it was a hoax call made by a six-year-old boy.

Clashes broke out on Friday between
protesters, agitating against recent arrests of youths
allegedly involved in recent stone-pelting incidents, and
security personnel in Nowhatta area of old Srinagar city.

Terming Naxalism as a "very
complex" issue, Justice K G Balakrishnan, who took over as the
chairman of NHRC on Monday, said "due consideration" should also
be given to rights of security personnel engaged in fighting
the menace.
